Senior🎓
Top SchoolTheo Bearman is a researcher focused on frontier security and AI policy, currently at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy after leading AI regulation and readiness work across Whitehall. With eleven years of professional experience and a Double First in Human, Social and Political Sciences from Cambridge, he transitioned from high-touch equity trading roles at HSBC into government AI policy driven by a fascination with ChatGPT and the socio-political impacts of AI. At the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology he shaped cross-government planning for AI infrastructure, security interventions, and an AI Growth Lab, blending technical coordination with policy design. His early career includes competitive placements at Accenture’s Horizons programme and hands-on trading/product work, and he also contributes to open-source projects such as Cachet where he improved UX copy and styling—evidence of his attention to detail across policy, markets, and software. Outside work he is an avid bridge player, reflecting a penchant for strategic thinking and partnership.
